Chapter 6:
Two days later they brought Kai home to the dojo. Yahiko pushed back the door. He then held it to let Kaoru through. Yahiko let it go right when Kenshin walked trough. " Yahiko!" Kaoru turned around and put her hand on her hip, in the other arm she held the baby. " Sorry." Yahiko pushed back the door and held it open. Kenshin rubbed the side of his face. " It's alright." Kenshin smirked and walked over to his wife.
Sanoske looked at Yahiko and huffed. " You dimwit." He hit Yahiko on the head, giving him a large red bump on his head. Yahiko groaned and let it past him. Kaoru sighed. " I'm going to feed Kai. Yell if you need me." Kaoru propped up the baby in arms and walked down the hall of the dojo to Kenshin and her room. " Oh, guys." Kaoru stopped before she walked into her room. " Yes Kaoru?" Kenshin asked. " Can you guys set up Kai's room before night comes? Thanks." Kaoru smiled, then walked into room.
Kenshin sighed and rubbed his head. " Whatever you say." He started down the hall then stopped. " Are you two coming?" He asked. Sanoske and Yahiko jumped up. " Uhh…sure." Sanoske followed him, dragging Yahiko along with him. " No. I don't want to!" Yahiko growled. " If you do you'll make Kai and Kaoru happy." Kenshin walked into the room. Yahiko suddenly stopped. " Fine then." His eyes closed.
As the sun settled, the men all fell down. The room was finally down. A crib in the corner, and everything was safe. Kenshin limped out of the room, a warm scent came to his nose. " Who's making such a fine meal?" Kenshin closed his eyes and kept the scent close to him. Sanoske peeked his head out. " Kaoru's in her room, so it must be Miss. Megumi" Sanoske walked out of the room, a slight smirk on his face. Yahiko walked out behind Kenshin. " Miss. Megumi is here?" He asked Kenshin and he nodded his head. " I suppose."
Sanoske grinned when he saw Megumi. " What's a lady like you doing here?" He looked at the soup she was stirring. Miss. Megumi laughed, her hand gripped on the spoon, still stirring. " Kaoru had a child. She's going to need help you know. Taking care of three men and a young little girl." A light smirk came to her face. " That's nice of you Miss. Megumi. I'm sure Kaoru will like the help." Kenshin thanked her again. " Kenshin, I'm happy to help out anyway I can." Miss. Megumi took a cloth and rubbed her hands on it. " Now, I'll go check on Kaoru. Watch the soup, but don't eat it." Her eyes moved over to Yahiko then Sanoske.
She walked out of the room. The men eyed the soup, Yahiko's tongue licking his lips. " Yahiko, Miss. Megumi said not to eat it but watch it. You too Sano." Kenshin ordered. Sanoske sighed. " Fine, whatever you say Kenshin." Sanoske crossed his arms.
Megumi knocked on the door lightly. " Kaoru? May I come in?" Megumi stood at the door way, waiting for a reply. " Sure. Come on in." Kaoru yelled. Megumi slid open the door, peering inside to find Kaoru holding the child in her lap, her hand on it's head. " How are you doing?" Miss. Megumi sat down next to Kaoru, looking at Kai. " Fine. Thank you again for coming to help. I don't know what I would do without you Megumi." Kaoru smiled. " It's nothing. I'm glad to help." She stood up. " Where having soup. Would you like to join us?" Kaoru nodded her head. " Did the boys get Kai's room done?" Kaoru picked up Kai in her arms and got onto her feet with Megumi's help.
" From what I know they did." Megumi helped Kaoru out of her room and into the baby's. " Great." Kaoru walked over to the crib and settled the baby in it. She touched it's nose and turned around. " Alright. I'm ready to eat now." Kaoru walked out with Miss. Megumi into the kitchen. Kenshin and Yahiko had set the table up and everything. The soup was in the bowls so the women were ready to eat. When Kaoru started eating everyone else started eating right away. " Kaoru you must be pretty hungry, feeding a baby and all." Yahiko swallowed the hot soup down his throat.
Kaoru nodded her head. " It is." She did the same by swallowing. Kenshin smiled. " But you're a good mother so you won't disappoint her now will you?" He laughed. Kaoru smiled and kept on eating her soup. Suddenly a loud BANG! CRASH! BOOM! BANG, BANG! Came from the back of the dojo. Dust flew into the dojo. " What the…!" Sanoske jumped up and so did Kenshin. Kaoru looked where the noise was coming from and her eyes widened. ' No.' She got up, waiting for Kenshin and Sanoske to come back.
Kenshin and Sanoske froze when the dust settled. Kaoru and the others came to there side. " Kenshin! What happened!" Kaoru shook him. Kenshin's jaw dropped. " We couldn't save her Kaoru." He looked his wife in the eyes. " Huh?" Kaoru questioned. " Kai. Kai, she's gone. Someone took her." Sanoske answered for him. Kaoru turned around, seeing everything was falling apart, the crib was in a million pieces, and her daughter was gone. Tears streamed down Kaoru's cheek and she turned around and held onto Kenshin. " We've got to do something. Someone would have to see the thief." Kaoru cried.
Kenshin stroked her hair. " We will. We'll do anything that we can Kaoru. We'll search everywhere." Kenshin whispered in her ear. " Sano! Go get the police." Miss. Megumi ordered. " Yahiko you go with him." They nodded there heads and took off. People surround the ruins as Kaoru cried quietly.
What happened? What in the world…? Were some of the things people were saying around them. Kenshin glanced around. ' Why didn't I sense anything earlier?' He thought confused. Kenshin never let go of Kaoru until Sanoske and Yahiko came back with the police. " We'll do everything we can sir." One of the men had said to Kenshin. " Alright. All we have to do now is pray and hope." He mumbled.
